A Chinese huanghuali, wumu and mother-of-pearl watch holder
About the Item
Canton, 2nd half 19th century
H. 22.5 x W. 30 x D. 12.5 cm
The pocket watch, an antique Swiss triple calendar Moon phace pocket watch in gunmetal case, dating from around 1860-1900, is marked Acier Garanti, Oxidage Inalterable, and is numbered. The stand, made of huanghuali (Dalbergia odorifera) and wumu, also known as ebony, is delicately inlaid with mother-of-pearl. This technique, which can also be found in Vietnam, became popular and vast amounts of objects decorated this way made their way to Europe. From Crucifixes and mirrors to whole furniture sets. A watch-stand however, seems to be rare.
